Hi, fuel gauge not working and I have tried a spare which also does not work. If I short the wire from the sender to earth I get full gauge movement.
So it seems to be the sender but when measured I am seeing 7 Ohms resistance from the sender terminal to earth, tank is quite full (I was expecting open circuit).
My question is does anyone know what the resistance range of the sender should be from full to empty tank ? Is my resistance too high ?

Many thanks !!
